Riddhit Mitra

About

Riddhit Mitra is a researcher specializing in orthopedic surgical technology, with a particular focus on robotics-assisted knee arthroplasty and surgical navigation systems. His work has significantly advanced the understanding and clinical application of handheld robotic platforms in total knee replacement (TKA) procedures. Mitra's most influential contribution, a 2018 cadaveric study assessing the accuracy of a novel image-free handheld robotic system, has garnered 61 citations and represents a landmark evaluation of imageless semi-autonomous surgical technology — providing some of the first rigorous empirical data on its bone preparation and limb alignment precision. His subsequent 2021 study, with 32 citations, extended this work by comparing component placement accuracy across two generations of handheld robotic systems, offering valuable longitudinal insights into how the technology has evolved. Mitra has also contributed to the specialized application of robotic techniques in bi-cruciate retaining knee replacement, addressing patient satisfaction and functional outcomes in active, early-stage arthritic patients. Through his body of work, including contributions to the NAVIO Surgical System, Mitra has helped establish an evidence base that supports the broader adoption of handheld robotics in modern orthopedic surgery.
